/**
 * Represents a parsed <l>Accept-Range</l> HTTP response header.

 * What partial content range types this server supports via byte serving.
 * 
 * <h5 class='figure'>Example</h5>
 * <p class='bcode'>
 * 	Accept-Ranges: bytes
 * </p>
 * 
 * <h5 class='topic'>RFC2616 Specification</h5>
 * 
 * The Accept-Ranges response-header field allows the server to indicate its acceptance of range requests for a
 * resource:
 * <p class='bcode'>
 * 	Accept-Ranges     = "Accept-Ranges" ":" acceptable-ranges
 * 	acceptable-ranges = 1#range-unit | "none"
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Origin servers that accept byte-range requests MAY send...
 * <p class='bcode'>
 * 	Accept-Ranges: bytes
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * ...but are not required to do so.
 * 
 * <p>
 * Clients MAY generate byte-range requests without having received this header for the resource involved.
 * 
 * <p>
 * Range units are defined in section 3.12.
 * 
 * <p>
 * Servers that do not accept any kind of range request for a resource MAY send...
 * <p class='bcode'>
 * 	Accept-Ranges: none
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * ...to advise the client not to attempt a range request.
